Bengal's agent had advised her against fighting above her weight class, but the Tiger had refused to listen. "Who cares if she's a heavyweight? It just gives me a bigger target," she'd quipped, as the agent rolled her eyes. Now, standing backstage at her next L.A.W. event, she was trying to summon that same feeling of self-assurance. She heard her entrance theme kick in, followed by the roar of the crowd, but even that didn't seem to do the trick. It wasn't the fact that she was fighting a larger woman; Bengal had done that before, and had won more often than not. It was the footage she'd seen of her opponent's previous matches. The "Endless X" wasn't just big - she was strong, and surprisingly fast too. Her unrelenting brawler style had already earned her several victories. Now, it was Bengal's turn to challenge her.
She's got a lot going for her, Bengal thought, as her entrance music rose to a crescendo. But so do I. Besides, she had a strategy in mind to nullify her opponent's size advantage. Feeling more confident now, she adjusted her cat ear headband one last time, then dashed out into the arena, swiping at the air dramatically with her sharpened nails. As soon as her striped boots touched down on the entrance ramp, a shower of sparks went up around her, dancing across her umber skin and reflecting in her orange eyes. She stalked down to the ring, pausing occasionally to glare at the fans packed into the aisle. Several of them were holding signs in support of E'isa, which the Tiger found absolutely infuriating. Fortunately for them, this wouldn't be a Falls Count Anywhere match, so Bengal would have to keep her attacks confined to the ring.
Bengal leaped nimbly onto the apron, before turning to take one last disdainful look at the crowd. Then she ducked under the ropes and got into position in the corner, as the ring announcer's voice boomed out: "Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first...standing at a height of five foot, seven inches, and weighing in at one hundred and forty pounds...from Kolkata, India...THE BLAZE TIGER! BENGAL!" Cheers and jeers rained down in equal measure. The Tiger arched one of her trimmed eyebrows, but otherwise made no response. Her attention was fixed on the top of the ramp, waiting for her opponent.
